UFC 272 Covington v's Masvidal: a break down

          I think we all wanted a little bit more from this fight card, not a bad fight card.....just not the one we wanted. Colby Covington did what we knew he had to do to win the fight and he did it masterfully. Seeing Greg Hardy get KO'd....again was most definitely my highlight of the night. We wanted a war that we didn't get, so let's take a look at the break down of a grudge match years in the making.


Colby Covington defeats Jorge Masvidal VIA unanimous decision
        In a match I personally have been wanting to see for years, ever since Colby randomly started to talk shit about Masvidal....to me it didn't live up to expectations. Covington completed weaponized his pace, like I've said in the past and it really seemed to hurt Masvidal in the later rounds. Jorge had some chances, he knocked Covington down twice and when he did it in the 4th round I think he made a fatal error not just emptying the gas tank to get Colby out of there. Hate him or love him though, Colby Covington may in fact be a top 10 fighter in the world. Yeah we all wanted to see Jorge beat the fuck out of Colby but at the end of the day we didn't get it .

Rafael dos Anjos defeats Renato Moicano VIA unanimous decision
          I mean, just a clinical beat down by the legend dos Anjos. Hats off to Moicano for taking the fight on 5 days notice, but the vet dos Anjos did whatever he wanted over 5 rounds v's Moicano. Rafael was upset over the fact the fight wasn't stopped and I gotta be honest, I don't blame him one bit. Renato offered little resistance to anything dos Anjos threw at him. Just a complete and utterly dominate performance by the former champ.

Bryce Mitchell defeats Edson Barboza VIA unanimous decision
          Bryce Mitchell had the biggest test of his UFC career Saturday against Edson Barboza and he may have put in his best UFC performance of his short career inside the octagon. Mitchel dominated Barboza on the ground and was relentless. Barboza is a master striker but just couldn't get all three judges scored the fight for Mitchell(30-26, 30-25, 30-27). Mitchell is a force reckon with in the featherweight division.

Kevin Holland defeats Alex Oliveira VIA TKO
          Holy shit did Kevin Holland need this win. Holland went 5-0 in 2020 but then proceeded to go 0-2-1 in his next three and was dominated in each of his losses. Holland looked really good on the feet in this one, he ended the first round knocking down Oliveira then finished him early in the second after knocking him down and lading vicious elbows while on top. Big win for Holland to get back on track in the welterweight division,

Sergey Spivak defeats Greg Hardy VIA KO
          DUDE, Greg Hardy fucking sucks. This was Hardy's last fight on his contract so hopefully this bullshit experiment is over. This fucking guy keeps getting PPV spots and the only reason people have to be tuning in to watch him is to see him get knocked the fuck out. Yeah I know this was a "TKO" but I watched the fight, Hardy was on queer street and he was knocked the fuck out. Spivak is an absolute fucking KILLER and Hardy shouldn't be in the cage with this dude. He should go to regional scenes if he really wants to do this shit for real because right now he's a fucking joke.
